f either name, is General Lee's army. We have not heard from any other source that Gen. Johnson was killed, nor do we believe the statement to be true. He was, however, Pennsylvanian, but a native of Chesterfield county in this State. He graduated at West Point, and served through the Florida war. He afterwards went to Mexico, and was in all of Scott's battles. At the commencement of the war he was appointed Colonel of a extra regiment, and distinguished himself, on the battle of Greenbrier. Left in command of the post on the Greenbrier, he the decisive victory of Alleghany against a vastly force.

As we have said, we do not believe that Gen. Johnson was killed, but if he was, the country has lost one of its bravest and best officers a veteran of approved skill, who had been need to fire from his early youth.
